THE GOALS WERE TO ESTABLISH INTERNAL COMPENSATION EQUITY, ACHIEVE EXTERNAL EQUITY TO ENSURE FAIR AND COMPETITIVE PAY, TO DEVELOP AN OBJECTIVE MERIT REVIEW PROCESS, AND DEVELOP TOOLS TO MAINTAIN THE COMPENSATION PROGRAM. THE INTERNET SOCIETY DEVELOPED COMPENSATION BENCHMARKS FOR EACH POSITION WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION, USING SEVERAL COMPENSATION STUDIES FOR US BASED EMPLOYEES AND BENCHMARKS FROM MERCER TOWERS WATSON AND BIRCHES GROUP FOR WORLDWIDE EMPLOYEES. THESE BENCHMARKS ARE UPDATED ANNUALLY. THE COMPENSATION OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER WAS ESTABLISHED IN A CONTRACT JANUARY 1, 2014. AS PART OF THE CONTRACT PROCESS, AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT WAS ENGAGED BY THE INTERNET SOCIETY BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO PROVIDE AN OPINION ON REASONABLENESS OF AND SUPPORTING COMPARABILITY DATA WITH RESPECT TO TOTAL COMPENSATION OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. THE CEO RECEIVES THE BENEFITS AVAILABLE TO OTHER INTERNET SOCIETY EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING A COMPANY CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS A RETIREMENT PLAN.
